Not my proudest show by a long shot. Wasn't feeling it going into it and when I couldn't find the new Matmos album I just lost all interest. I played long songs and played this flash game. Have I mentioned yet how little good music has come out so far this year? I might be able to count the good ones on both hands, maybe.

Saccharine

i remember when this was played senior year of college, being drunk 2 years and trying my damnedest that drunk night to find this video online to no avail. AND I FINALLY FOUND IT.



danny devito's facial expressions through it are directly responsible for causing me to seek out "it's always sunny in philadelphia," with great results.
